Of the INNER TEMPLE, Efq.

IN TWO VOLUMES.

VOL I.

Sicut aquæ tremulum labris ubi lumen ahenis
Sole repercuffum, aut radiantis imagine lunæ,
Omnia pervolitat latè loca, jamque fub auras

Reflects the beam that plays upon

its face,
The sportive light, uncertain where it falls,
Now ftrikes the roof, now flashes on the walls.

On selfish principles, is fhame and guilt;

The deeds that men admire as half divine,
Stark naught, because corrupt in their defign.

Strange doctrine this! that without fcruple tears
The laurel that the very lightning spares,
